Episode 556 Technological Revolution (3)

 

Kaang-!

 

Kaang, Kaang-!

 

repeated action.

 

repeating sound.

 

Roman Dmitry's muscles swelled and every time he struck steel, everything around him disappeared one by one except for the steel and himself.

 

It was truly trance.

 

It is a state that even skilled artisans wish to experience at least once in their lifetime, but Roman Dmitry was able to isolate consciousness the moment he made up his mind.

 

He cut himself off from the world so that he could focus on only one thing, and he fell in love with fear.

 

Kaang!

 

present and past lives.

 

I've hammered countless times over my two lives.

 

Roman Dmitry concludes that the current technology lacks, but he did not think that it was caused by human differences.

 

Dmitry's master, Blacksmith Hendrick, and Park Gwang-deok, who is said to be the greatest artisan of the Korean Empire. The difference between the two is not skill and effort.

 

Both of them were excellent craftsmen and devoted their lives to hammering, but despite their unrivaled efforts, a gap was inevitable between them.

 

It was a cultural difference.

 

There was a difference in the background.

 

If in Hendrick's world, smelting steel was treated as a priority, Park Kwang-deok's world was pushed down as modern society was formed.

 

At least, it was evaluated that making 'weapons' out of steel was not suitable for the era of using guns.

 

Perhaps, in a world that cannot be properly recognized, Park Gwang-deok's will, which did not let go of the hammer even before the catastrophe broke out, may be even greater.

 

Leave that fact.

 

The reason there was no choice but to make a difference was to understand the basis of the world called 'mana'.

 

The difference between understanding mana and not understanding it.

 

A previous life understood Mana.

 

Auras and magic developed, and because the theoretical system for mana was organized, all the information was melted into the sword.

 

The blacksmiths also worked on the idea that they were not simply iron weapons, but swords that accepted mana.

 

In the beginning, the technology that had undergone numerous trials and errors as in the present life met with a tremendous revival in the era of Dmitry.

 

And there, unlike the present, there was abundant mana.

 

Even if Dmitry's artisans could not use 'mana', mana was dissolved in their actions themselves.

 

'Current artisans live in a world where technology cannot develop. Mana was barren, and mana had to be intentionally injected into the process of making mana weapons, and while expressing mana through the system, he did not understand the concept of mana itself. Perhaps, if hundreds of years pass like this, craftsmen like Park Gwang-deok may acquire technology comparable to that of Dmitry. Their lack of technological prowess is not a lack of effort, but only a limit that is allowed to them now.'

 

Kaang!

 

technology revolution.

 

accelerated the time

 

After many trials and errors, Roman Dmitry was planning to develop the technology to be perfected in the present life.

 

For the revival of the Korean Empire?

 

That's right.

 

But the real reason was in Dmitry.

 

'I want to rule this world. My reign had a purpose in its own right up to now, but it came from my heart, which does not allow even the slightest change in the reign I wish for now. Dmitry. I hope that no variable will be involved in the process of bringing that world to this place. May the existence of the strong and the Absolute who make up this world do not dare interfere with my purpose. I sincerely hope.'

 

Kaan-!

 

The will was inflated.

 

longing was burning

 

Contrary to the intensely boiling emotions, Roman Dmitry's hammering was repeated calmly enough to be boring.

 

He followed suit.

 

Usually, he expressed the new chalogen and worked more explosively than now, but the skill he was trying to show to the current craftsmen was an area that ordinary people could follow.

 

I don't think they can see and learn.

 

However, the sights he saw with his own eyes will remain the foundation of the Korean Empire.

 

In order to create a powerful country that thinks in the future, Park Gwang-deok and his craftsmen had to grow with a solid foundation.

 

Just like there were blacksmiths in Dmitry.

 

There will be artisans in the Korean Empire.

 

Roman Dmitry intentionally moved mana and showed a new type of work technique suitable for the present life.

 

Dozens, hundreds, thousands of hammers.

 

A day, two days, three days, time passing quickly.

 

When all the time of the week has passed.

 

pass sass.

 

Roman Dmitry finally stopped hammering.

 

* * *

 

Last week.

 

Park Gwang-deok and the artisans thought.

 

'Apart from the suggestion of His Majesty Roman Dmitry, I will surely learn the principles of technology while observing his work. Not a day, but a week. For those of us who have lived our whole lives in the blacksmith, this is enough time to overflow.'

 

committed to

 

When Roman Dmitry started working in earnest, he showed a strong will as if to capture every single action of his.

 

like that.

 

Kaan-!

 

work has begun.

 

"Wow."

 

"Huh."

 

Everyone exclaimed from the start.

 

I thought that some skill element would be included in Roman Dmitry's work, but he showed a perfectly standard figure. It was the domain of artisans.

 

Instead of using his skills to create something in a flash, he gradually chiseled the result through repeated hammering that melted time and sweat.

 

looked different.

 

Roman Dmitry.

 

He was a craftsman just like them.

 

He had prejudices against his appearance, but he showed a way of working that was impossible except for someone who truly walked the path of a craftsman.

 

Each time he repeated hammering, he felt the years gone by.

 

How much anguish and effort a man named Roman Dmitry had been working hard to make a sword rose like a tsunami of emotions, and his breath rushed in.

 

acknowledged

 

He had to admit it.

 

From then on, the craftsmen were immersed in the situation itself rather than learning something.

 

Hwareuk.

 

gurgling gurgling.

 

in the roaring flames.

 

A strange sight was seen in the eyes of the artisans.

 

The red magic was sucked into the steel.

 

When Roman Dmitry slammed the steel, the magical energy caused a violent explosion and was sucked back into the steel.

 

repeated hammering.

 

Repeated explosions of magic.

 

Park Gwang-duk's eyes fluttered.

 

The scene that I couldn't understand at first, I soon realized what it meant.

 

'… … To make nature's mana seep into steel with a single hammer. That was it. Even if you don't have to use crafting skills, and don't leave a gap in the process of making iron weapons. This is how to make a weapon that perfectly accepts mana and is perfect for iron! Since the iron weapon naturally accepted mana, the sword of His Majesty Roman Dmitry was able to coexist with the two strengths.'

 

he admired

 

At the same time.

 

I felt a vague feeling.

 

It may seem like a very simple theory to explain, but that ability to freely manipulate mana was an area that was impossible without the use of skills.

 

People in the present life dealt with mana only through skills.

 

Rather than understanding mana and controlling it, mana is accompanied only when a skill is used.

 

It was confusing.

 

How the hell is this even possible

 

Other artisans showed the same reaction as Park Gwang-deok.

 

"… … hey, what is this?"

 

"This is art. It's the realm of art."

 

"Ahh."

 

Everyone was completely fascinated.

 

forgot purpose.

 

It wasn't that he wanted to learn a technique, he was eager to capture the image of Roman Dmitry even for a moment.

 

he knew then

 

Roman Dmitry's intentions.

 

His work is not something you can learn just by observing it, and the skill itself to deal with mana was only a one-step process.

 

After that, to complete the sword, you have to go through a number of steps.

 

As a craftsman who did not understand mana, it was impossible to even imitate the steps without mastering the basics.

 

The sun went down, and the sun rose again.

 

People did not leave their seats as much as possible.

 

A technological revolution was taking place right before my eyes.

 

Knowing that a new era is coming because of Roman Dmitry, I captured the moment that will remain in history as much as possible.

 

a week like that.

 

When I finally stopped hammering.

 

pass sass.

 

"His Majesty the Emperor. Please accept us."

 

"His Majesty the Emperor. Please accept us."

 

"His Majesty the Emperor. Please accept us."

 

With Park Gwang-deok in the lead, the craftsmen all bowed their heads in unison and cried out an oath of allegiance.

 

* * *

 

said Park Kwang-deok.

 

"I realized while watching the work of His Majesty the Emperor. The way we crafted mana weapons was only half way through. In a dangerous situation for humanity right now, we have been ignoring reality even though we know that the way we use our skills is half the price. Please teach us. The artisans of the Artisan Association, including myself, are eager to be taught the skill that cannot be learned by simply watching. If you open a new path for us, I will gladly dedicate my life for the Korean Empire and for His Majesty Roman Dmitry."

 

"Please accept us."

 

"Please accept us."

 

The aspiration spread.

 

The artisans looked up to Roman Dmitry.

 

The moment he acknowledged that he was not the emperor of the Korean Empire, but a craftsman, it was not wasted even if he gave everything to him.

 

He is a citizen of the Korean Empire.

 

They are craftsmen who have dedicated their lives to work.

 

To them, Roman Dmitry was the perfect being.

 

With intense longing, said Roman Dmitry.

 

"I know how important the role of artisans who make weapons is. No matter how good swordsmanship is, if you have a weapon that cannot cut through the skin of a monster, excellent swordsmanship is of no value. In this new age, in this chaotic world, you are worth more than you yourself think. I am, I am Roman Dmitry. It will raise the value of the artisans. I will prove your existence."

 

Dmitry.

 

Korean Empire.

 

It was a chain of fate.

 

Just as Dmitry laid a solid foundation with his production technology, he hoped that craftsmen would become the foundation of the Korean Empire.

 

Park Gwang-deok and his craftsmen showed a thrilling expression.

 

They have been recognized as craftsmen, but there is no one in the world who can tell you the value of it like Roman Dmitry.

 

A person who makes weapons.

 

just that much.

 

Roman Dmitry was different.

 

Because he had experienced a previous life, he knew how important the existence of craftsmen was.

 

The emotion was overwhelming.

 

With everyone looking up, Roman Dmitry told them a new future.

 

"It will start a month later. The technology presentation will be held at a place where all countries of the world are invited. Like you now, people look up to the technology of the Korean Empire, but they don't dare to imitate it. That was the beginning of the technological revolution. With the stage in which you are the protagonist, this country will reach a new inflection point."

 

bright future.

 

took the place of the protagonist.

 

Feeling indescribable in words, Park Gwang-deok and his craftsmen thought.

 

No matter how long time passes, they will never forget this moment of acknowledging their existence for the rest of their lives.

 

* * *

 

When the Korean Empire faced a period of upheaval.

 

Wang Weilong was immersed in training.

 

After being defeated by Min-Woo Park, or even Kim Pan-Seok, who changed his name to the wizard in white, he devoted a lot of time to training himself rather than politics.

 

It was the same today.

 

He swung his sword to the point where he was drenched in sweat, wiping away the sweat with the towel Suha gave him, and saw Xiao Long waiting for him on the other side.

 

"What's going on?"

 

"I have something to report to you."

 

"Say it."

 

He received a canteen.

 

While drinking the water, Xiaolong's voice was heard.

 

"There was one small incident in the Korean Empire. A man named Cheol-min Park, who belongs to the Incheon government-controlled university, visited Miracle, a repair center in Seoul, to repair his sword. The problem is that the sword that Park Chul-min received as a supply is of excellent quality enough to move the entire Korean Empire Craftsman Association. It turns out that the sword was made by Emperor Roman Dmitry himself, and an unusual current is flowing between the government of the Korean Empire and the Craftsmen Association."

 

"… … A sword that His Majesty the Emperor himself made?"

 

"Yes."

 

stand tall.

 

Wang Weilong stopped acting.

 

The reason he had his subordinates keep an eye on the progress of the Korean Empire was because of his excessive loyalty to Roman Dmitry.

 

If anything happens, run away in one month.

 

As a descendant of the Cheonma Protestant Church, Baek Jung-hyeok wanted to show his loyalty to himself even if he did not issue any special orders.

 

Then.

 

He found out about the work of the artisan association by chance.

 

It was a story that could be heard normally, but Wang Wei-ryong felt as if he had been struck by lightning for a moment.

 

'It's the sword of heaven.'

 

Eyes fluttered.

 

own father.

 

When he told the story handed down from his ancestors, there was one story that really impressed me.

 

"Cheonma Baek Jung-hyeok was a man who reached the highest level as a craftsman. Whenever he faced the moment of a decisive battle, he made his own sword suitable for his present self, and the 39 swords that were born were called the swords of the heavenly demons and were evaluated as the greatest treasure in Moorim. It is now known that all of them have been lost, but at one time my wish was to use the sword of the Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk and practice the Cheonma Swordsmanship."

 

There was a shudder.

 

Father's dream!

 

Hearing the story, he also had the intense longing he had in his heart!

 

I forgot for a while.

 

Roman Dmitry's existence was so sudden that he couldn't afford to think of 'Sword of Heaven' recently.

 

However, Xiao Long's report brought his memories back to life. At the same time, I felt a mixture of anger and jealousy.

 

Although it is his lifelong wish to use the sword of the heavenly demon, Park Chul-min, who is directly under the direct control of the university, was given the sword of the heavenly demon without knowing how valuable it was.

 

greed was intense.

 

supplies.

 

Some would devalue it just because it was supplied, but Wang Wei-ryong didn't think much of it.

 

One month before the technical presentation.

 

"Prepare the magic circle for teleporting to the Korean Empire right now. I have to meet Chul-Min Park in person."

 

Make a tech show buzz.

 

Wang Wei-ryong's trip to Korea has been decided.
